Just wanted to add a post here in case anybody is still following my blog. It's been two years since my last post.
Just wanted to let everyone know that my weight is finally starting to come off. I'm running and walking about 5 to 7 miles a day right now.
The main thing I want to do is tell you is "Don't give up!" when you are trying to get your weight off. I've weighed as much as 258 lbs and now I'm down to the 220's or low 230's. Still want to get down to about 185 which is good for me.
The one thing I did that really helped me this past month is limit the amount of food I was eating. I'm at about 1,000 calories per day of very healthy and vitamin rich food. Also, no processed food and very light on dairy and meat.
I gave up my once or twice daily Starbucks iced vanilla latte. After a week it wasn't hard, plus I have more money now. $10 per day on Starbucks in stupid. I make my own coffee now.
Also, I keep a food journal every day to track what I eat and I just keep track of the calories. No need to do something stupid like weight watchers points or join some stupid weight loss center for $500.
If you are having trouble losing weight I'd love to help you. I spent 10 years as a pretty large man. It feels much much better to be healthy and not fat.
